Jealous of this conversion. Great write up!

 

[osufalcon]

Been working through the programming on this. I have flashed the cluster and am on updating the as-built part. What I did was save the as-built from my stock cluster and then load that into forscan and wrote it out. I also made the updates from the first post. But, I am still getting DTC's, U0533, U0534, U3000. I am guessing I need a few further adjustments to correct these. Any help to get over this last hurdle is appreciated!

I have water spots on the back side of my cluster lens. I’m wondering if I can follow these steps without disconnecting the panel just so I could clean the lens?

So is there a cable that gives enough leeway to pull the cluster out and unscrew the lens screws?

Any assistance would be appreciated!

Thanks!

There's just enough slack in the wiring to disconnect the IPC. You won't have enough space to be able to unscrew and unclip the lens until it's removed from the dash completely. It's 100% OK to disconnect the IPC, tho. If you're nervous, just disconnect the battery first.

DaMiFo,

Thanks for the reply.

Disconnecting the IPC won’t reset anything like the mileage?

 

[DaMiFo]

Correct, mileage is written to the IPC (and other modules), so it's not something that will be erased upon power loss. Maybe your Trip 1 and Trip 2 counters will reset, but that's a hard maybe. I believe our cars don't lost the trip counters like older Fords did. But yes, you're 100% OK to disconnect it with the car off.

how much the price by USD

 

[DaMiFo]

The price of what? Total? Depends on if you already have the tools necessary to do it yourself, pay for programming by someone else, and how much you find the new parts for.

Price of mkz instrument cluster

 

[DaMiFo]

Usually between $100-200 USD if your find a used one, about $500 for a new one (plus $300 core charge).

It cost me about $225 for the cluster from LKQ a couple years back. Just make sure you get a cluster that has less mileage than your current one. It's easy to roll mileage forward, but not back.

Where did you find the Mondao cluster shroud?

 

[DaMiFo]

Ebay or other private sellers. If you're lucky you'll find someone selling just the lens/mask. They go fast tho since everyone's now doing the swap. But if you can't, you'll need to buy a Mondeo cluster and swap the mask/lens from that onto your MKZ cluster.

Or if you look hard enough and find a Mondeo cluster for an auto/petrol model, you can just use that IPC if you're OK with the firmware differences.

I prefer stock looks more up to date .........but this is a timeless look.👍

I found it on Taobao.com, and had to go through a intermediary called Taobao Focus since they only sell to Chinese customers.

Do you know someone who can flash my IPC or borrow a UCDS cable from?

I have the MKZ cluster. I just need it programmed. I know I'll need a lens but that will come

Hey thanks for replying but I figured it out. My rpm gauge wasn't working. But I found out which line it was in forscan that needed to be changed
